FLIR Fido X4

Handheld Explosives Trace Detector with TrueTrace Technology

The FLIR Fido X4 is a next-generation handheld explosives trace detector (ETD) engineered for mission-critical security, defense, and law enforcement operations. Featuring FLIR’s proprietary TrueTrace® detection technology, the Fido X4 utilizes a robust five-channel sensor array that delivers unmatched sensitivity and expanded detection capabilities for a wide range of explosive materials — including homemade, military, and commercial compounds.

Whether deployed at high-volume checkpoints, foot patrols, or random security sweeps, the Fido X4 ensures accurate, fast threat identification in diverse and challenging environments.

The device’s intuitive touchscreen interface includes color-coded alerts, alarm strength indicators, and onboard video tutorials to ensure quick, confident use by operators of all experience levels. With modern data connectivity (Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, USB), users can efficiently analyze, store, and share results, streamlining incident response and compliance reporting. Built with rugged portability in mind, the Fido X4 is the go-to solution for border security, event protection, military EOD teams, and critical infrastructure defense.
